I've been looking to replace the really awful quality, soundless gameplay video I have up on youtube.

I've made a new video, but I'm almost positive youtube will ruin the quality once I upload it, I vaguely remember someone giving me a simple tip to help with this, bit I seem to have forgotten. I know a lot of people here have posted entire playthroughs of their games on youtube, so I come here asking for help. What can / should I do before uploading this thing?

Well, if it's already high quality video then it shouldn't be too bad once the high quality comes up on youtube. Also I think rendering as an AVI can help, but I've had problems with using AVI's so, you can try.

Sorry if I'm not much help but thats really all I know from what gameplay/devlogs I've uploaded.

I don't know any specific tips but I can say what I did for all the clips I have.

I use Fraps to record sound/video. Gives a huge uncompressed video. I then compressed it with the XVid codec so it still looked nearly the same but was about 1/10th the size.

Then I uploaded. That's all I can really say. YouTube has been notorious for borking videos on conversion.

works great for me, too iPhoto was freezing up trying to read from the G2 if there were video clips recorded, for some reason.
